Al termine del corso, lo studente acquisirà conoscenze in merito alla progettazione di sistemi peer to peer e di sistemi basati su blockchain.
The student will acquire knowledge relative to the development of distributed systems, in particular of blockchain-based systems.
Per l'accertamento delle conoscenze saranno svolte delle due prove in itinere, un midterm ed un final term. Infine sarà svolto un progetto finale.
At the end of the course, the student must submit the final project.
Al termine del corso:
- lo studente saprà sviluppare una applicazione distribuita
- lo studente saprà sviluppare smart contract
- lo studente conioscerà diversi meccanismi di consenso
At the end of the course, the student
- will be able to develop a distributed application
- will be able to develop a smart contract
- will be able to understand consensus mechanisms
Sarà svolto un pogetto finale per la verifica della acquisizione delle capacità
- final project will assess the acquisition of the skills.
- Lo studente potrà acquisire e/o sviluppare sensibilità alle problematiche relative all'uso di criptomonete
Acquisition of sensibility relative to the use of cryptocurrencies.
- Il mid term e final term dovranno essere accompagnati da brevi relazioni
- Student is required to submit a report for the mid and for the final term

Introduction to the course
Peer to Peer
- Peer to Peer (P2P) systems: general concepts
- Unstructured Overlays: Flooding, Random Walks, Epidemic Diffusion
- Structured Overlays: Distributed Hash Tables (DHT), Routing on a DHT, IPFS
Case Studies:
- BitTorrent as a Content Distribution Network
- KAD implementation of the Kademlia DHT
Cryptocurrencies and Blockchains
- basic concepts: basic cryptographic tools (digital signatures, cryptographic hash, Merkle trees.,..)
- blockchains: definition
- distributed consensus: definition
the Bitcoin blockchain
- Bitcoin mining mechanism: Nakamoto consensus
- pseudoanonymity: traceability and mixing
- the Bitcoin P2P Network
Ethereum
- structure of the blockchain and consensus mechanism
- programming smart contracts with Solidity
Applications of blockchains:
- NFT
- supply chain
- Self Sovereign Identity
Improving Scalability
- Bitcoin Lightning Network
- Interledger Protocols
Further Consensus mechanisms
- Proof of Stake
- Proof of Space
- Byzantine consensus
